Many now expect (or perhaps we have allowed them to become conditioned) to pay nothing, to have everything taken care of. Note that I said in the past couple of years, I am not interested in hearing about the current recession as an excuse.

As for Octomom, you are agreeing it's a negotiated thing and isn't - at least in the beginning, based upon how many watch. She can name her price.

I didn't say I so disapproved of her making money. However, when you put it that way, I approve of her doing it by working, not by birthing. The sensationalism does nothing but glorify how people can do something out of the norm (dare I say outrageous) and profitably gain from it. Yes, if they will pay, and if they will watch, then so be it.

It's madness, plain and simple to pay people to have babies, and that's essentially what any book or movie deal would be. She is pimping her kids if she does so, like the others.
